New ep THE SHADE OF HOLY LIGHT available worldwide
THE SHADE OF HOLY LIGHT will be available worldwide on December 18th, 2019 via SLIPTRICK RECORDS.
Legendary Japanese metal band SABER TIGER will continue their collaboration with Sliptrick Records for the release of their new EP "THE SHADE OF HOLY LIGHT". The title track is a dark power ballad that has originally been released as part of the critically acclaimed 2018 Sliptrick Records release "OBSCURE DIVERSITY". For this EP, the band recorded an exclusive orchestral arrangement of the title track, which will be featured alongside the album version and a live version recorded in Tokyo in November 2018. The international version of "THE SHADE OF HOLY LIGHT" greatly exceeds the usual running time of an EP, because it includes no less than 6 bonus live tracks recorded at the same concert, 4 of which are exclusive to the international Sliptrick Records release. Among these are beloved "OBSCURE DIVERSITY" tracks like 'The Worst Enemy' and 'The Crowbar Case', as well as classic tracks, such as 'Angel Of Wrath'. These live tracks prove that the guitar interplay between Akihito Kinoshita and Yasuharu Tanaka is every bit as tight and creative on stage as it is in the studio. The same can be said about the raw and passionate vocal performance of Takenori Shimoyama, as well as the intricate progressive leanings of drummer Yasuhiro Mizuno and bassist hibiki. In recent years, SABER TIGER has been taking their live reputation abroad to audiences in Russia, Ukraine, the Netherlands, Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia, including a well-received slot at Estonia's prestigious Hard Rock Laager festival earlier this year. Even after almost four decades of activity, SABER TIGER's international ambitions have not dwindled. "THE SHADE OF HOLY LIGHT" is a great treat to fans that have followed SABER TIGER for many years, but also the perfect way for newcomers to become acquainted with their unique classic heavy metal sound with contemporary touches. The international version of "THE SHADE OF HOLY LIGHT" will be released in Europe and North America by Sliptrick Records on December 18th, 2019.

BALTIC BASH 2019
GO LOUD AGENCY press release:
Once again, Japanese Heavy Metal veterans SABER TIGER will return to Europe to present their latest LP "OBSCURE DIVERSITY" across the Baltic States. The album (released in October 2018 via Sliptrick Records) encapsulates the band's authentic blend of traditional and highly-technical progressive metal, and has scored multiple enthusiastic reviews within the metal community - even causing some to go as far as to describe it as the band's "creative peak". The band will also be promoting their more recent documentary "DEVASTIATION TRAIL: The Documentary", which includes footage from the bands previous East European tour as well as interviews with various industry professionals. SABER TIGER's "BALTIC BASH" will hit towns like Jelgava (Latvia), Kaunas (Lithuania) and culminate with a very special performance at Estonia's increasingly-popular metal festival "HARD ROCK LAAGER" - alongside world-renowned acts like CARCASS and DARK FUNERAL, among others.

OBSCURE DIVERSITY now available worldwide
OBSCURE DIVERSITY is now available worldwide via SLIPTRICK RECORDS.
2018 has been a busy year for SABER TIGER. After the band and the global metal market got to know each other through the international release of "BYSTANDER EFFECT" in early 2018 and the following "Eastern Europe Devastation Tour" through Ukraine, Russia, Latvia and Lithuania, the time has come for the second international release of the Japanese heavy metal giants. "OBSCURE DIVERSITY" shows a band that has no intention of slowing down more than three and a half decades after their genesis. If anything, their trademark blend of classy melodicism and fierce intensity is in better balance than ever. Tracks like speed monsters "The Crowbar Case" and "Permanent Rage" feature every aspect that fans have come to expect from SABER TIGER; from the whirlwind guitar work of Akihito Kinoshita and Yasuharu Tanaka to Takenori Shimoyama's passionate vocals and the intricate rhythms of drummer Yasuhiro Mizuno and bassist hibiki. "Beat Of The War Drums" is heavy and modern, while more atmospheric tracks like "The Shade Of Holy Light" and "The Forever Throne" show a surprisingly introspective side of the band without sacrificing any of the band's renowned heaviness. "Distant Signals", hibiki's first songwriting contribution to SABER TIGER's body of work, even manages to take the band to surprisingly progressive territories. SABER TIGER pulls all of these musical directions off with equal class and conviction, truly accounting for the diversity that they have promised in the album's title. Unlike "BYSTANDER EFFECT", which was mixed and mastered by founder Kinoshita himself, SABER TIGER sought international assistance for the sonic representation of "OBSCURE DIVERSITY". The band was looking for a certain degree of clarity and power and found exactly that when they enlisted the help of Simone Mularoni, guitarist of Italian progressive power metal band DGM and owner of the Domination Studio in San Marino. "OBSCURE DIVERSITY" will be released internationally by SLIPTRICK RECORDS on October 10th, 2018.
